+* (02-client) [\#181](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/181) Remove 'InitialHeight' from UpdateClient Proposal. Only copy over latest consensus state from substitute client.
 * (06-solomachine) [\#169](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/169) Change FrozenSequence to boolean in solomachine ClientState. The solo machine proto package has been bumped from `v1` to `v2`.
 * (module/core/02-client) [\#165](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/165) Remove GetFrozenHeight from the ClientState interface. 
 * (modules) [\#166](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/pull/166) Remove GetHeight from the misbehaviour interface. The `consensus_height` attribute has been removed from Misbehaviour events.
